Gamers can now purchase a 27-inch QD-OLED display for $329.99 at Best Buy. The retailer reduced the price of the Acer Predator XB27OU by $50 as of October 23, 2026. This price point targets users who want to switch from IPS panels to OLED technology without spending a premium.
The monitor features a 26.5-inch panel with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. Tom's Hardware notes that this QHD resolution is suitable for mid-range gaming PCs. Graphics cards in that tier can typically handle the frame rate and pixel count without excessive strain.
The display runs at a 240Hz refresh rate. It achieves a gray-to-gray response time of 0.03ms. Tom's Hardware states that these specs allow for smooth motion and prevent the ghosting effects common on slower screens. The monitor also supports AMD FreeSync Premium. This feature syncs the refresh rate to the game's frame output to eliminate screen tearing.
Color accuracy is a key feature of the QD-OLED panel. The XB27OU covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. It maintains a Delta E accuracy figure below 2. The screen supports HDR10 and 10-bit color, which increases contrast and color depth compared to standard dynamic range. OLED technology produces deep blacks and high contrast ratios.
The monitor includes two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 port. These connections allow users to link a gaming PC and multiple game consoles to a single screen. Shoppers can find the device at the reduced price at Best Buy.
